You'd go from 11 mph to around 13 mph if everything else is "normal"
On my recumbent at 30 mph, I need 300 watts of which about 55 watts are rolling resistance. Cutting the rolling resistance in half would increase my speed by just around 1 mph.
Using bike calculator a 20 watt (10 per tire) difference with a 170 pound rider putting out 200 watts on the flat looks more like a .7 MPH difference.
